Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Poor nutritional status with BMI 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent); inhaled or topical corticosteroids and adrenal corticosteroid replacement with > 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease; c) Receipt of a live-attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug; d) Major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug; 4. Presence of any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (thyroid hormone replacement therapy is allowed); patients with psoriasis or childhood asthma/allergy that has completely resolved without intervention in adulthood may be considered, but those requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators are excluded; 5. History of immunodeficiency, including positive HIV test, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation; 6. Presence of uncontrolled cardiac clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA Class II or higher heart failure, (2) unstable angina, (3) myocardial infarction within the past year, (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that are not controlled or poorly controlled with clinical intervention; 7. Severe infection (CTCAE Grade 2) within 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug, such as severe pneumonia, bacteremia, or infection with complications requiring hospitalization; baseline chest imaging showing active pulmonary inflammation, presence of signs or symptoms of infection within 14 days before the first administration of the study drug, or need for oral or intravenous antibiotic therapy, excluding prophylactic use of antibiotics; 8.
